@leebase. And all this time I thought price competition was about "lower" prices! My head hurt trying to follow Apple's arguments about how their entry into the market increased competition whilst driving up prices! I thought that Hachette had no contract with Amazon (because they were not in a hurry to reach agreement) and that Amazon generously sold their books anyway! I thought a book's intrinsic value was not the same thing as whatever "price" it happened to be selling at at any particular time. I thought that it was okay for a business to match a cheaper sales prices at a competitor. I thought it was Google which was denying authors the right to control whether their books went on sale.

And worst of all, I still think that I was and am right.
